Guilty

The sun left our planet.
Time for the moon to keep sentry; and me : guilty!

I try so hard to wash these hands clean.
But this water is not colourless, this soap is soiled, and this bleach paints!

Like the dust, the wind blows me east and west.
And rubbed my nose on every dust and moist.

I,Soon, get up and walk with shoulders high and strong.
I pitch the flag so high and zealously!
It's all I dream of.

Then that moment of weakness cripples my ribs and hind.
I bury my head in an ocean of alibis.
Yet my feet; always uncovered.

Only then I agree that I'm guilty.
Though I want to live without her!
I'd never leave her alone!

Dear Lord of all men, save me

Time

Time, like a fugitive, flees from everyone and everything; from us all. Or maybe the evasive soul has got one heck of a dream and supersonic jets with which to chase it. How does it never stay in the same place twice? Not even for a second! Maybe time is human. Soul so fleeting like a perfidiously fickle mood. Think of mirage, façade, or shadows, then time would never be far away. You remember when you thought you had him where you wanted? When time seemed so fond of you? When he gave you so much attention that you wondered what to do with the lengthy hours that boredom and Morpheus took delight in purloining? And how you thought to learn a skill to amuse him, or a trade to impress him? He was always there, all around you as a paramour. He was such a stayer that he emptied his soul into your palms. He gave you his life. Then died. Maybe. But what have you done with it? Have you ever waited on time to keep its promise on boiling your rice, healing your wou...

Cold Water

Cold Water Her eyes kept expanding in their sockets. The muscles at her jaw swelled like the hunch of a well-fed cow as she clenched her molars and premolars.  She tried so hard to stop the warm brine but her lachrymal glands, apparently, did not get the memo.  In a spilt of a second, her cheek and mascara, all of it, would be washed clean, like the salty waves over the beach sand Like two young paramours holding hands, her tears would connive with the mucous from her nostrils at the philtrum, traversing her lips before finally jumping off the jaw cliff.  It would not be a good sight at all. On other days, the milky alliance between tears and mucous would make me puke.  Her own, although equally sordid, only inspired pity.  I had never seen someone with so much tears.  Tears, with a will like the erosion on the sub-Saharan soil, mapped and dug out every dirt on the physiological contours of her face.  Astonishingly, her vocal cor...

Darkness

And it crept in ; blind folding me and everyone else. Now the huge colourful torch will bore a hole through it's foggy and abysmal nature ; Lightening my footpath and enlivening my soul upon gaze. ----------- Shhhhh! a moment of silence ; the other ; of guard. What a complicated nature you've been bestowed with. It behooves me to demand: shall I say he or she ... ? She's so calm that you can hear the soothing melody of the trees and partner: breeze. ----------- He's so fierce that your heart is encircled in perpetual terror just for setting your eyes upon him... Huhnh... A sigh in confusion and resignation!
